Current Everton's Genealogical Helper FREE to download until 12 July

Leland Meitzler just posted "Everton’s Genealogical Helper “Online Edition” FREE for the Next Week" that announced that for the next week, the Jul-Aug, 2008 issue will be “in the clear,” and available to anyone that wants to check it out.

If you want to subscribe to the Online Edition of Everton's Genealogical Helper, the cost is only $12 per year for the full six issues of the magazine. Traditional Magazine subscribers get FREE access.

You can read the download information and download the July-August 2008 issue at http://www.worldvitalrecords.com/onlinegh/. It does require Adobe Acrobat 6 or higher. This issue is 26.6 mb, so you might not want to do it on a dial-up connection. My cable connection took about 30 seconds.

I subscribed to the online edition of Everton's Genealogical Helper at the SCGS Genealogy Jamboree for $10. That seems like a very good deal for me, and I hope that other genealogy magazines will follow suit.

Well done, Leland - a great marketing move, I think.
